The first Derby Classic of 2012 will be held Saturday, October 6, at the Tri County Beagle Club in Carrolltown, Pa. This trial is for 2013 derbies. There are no entry fees and everyone is encouraged to follow all braces. Handlers are encouraged to bring their own bracemate or team up with someone else. The entries will be taken until 9:00 a.m. These classics are a lot of fun and beaglers have a chance to see what next years competition will be. There will be two additional Classics this Fall. One will be at George Vestals farm in Yadkinville, N.C. Saturday, November 17 and the other will be at the Maryland Beagle Club in White Hall, Maryland on Sunday, December 16.
